Should I Join A Frat?
 

Who better to come to for semi-significant decisions than the inhabitants of OOT? Anyway, here at USC, the social scene is pretty much dominated by the frats. I'm tired of sitting around in the dorms on the weekends knowing that there are parties featuring lots of booze and lots of fine women just blocks away, but I can't get into them. But, on the other hand, if I were to join a frat, I would be... In a frat. And that's gay.

I don't know what the situation is like at USC, but honestly, I say go for it. Where I am, we don't have frats so all the parties are just people having a couple of kegs in their apartments, so I can't really speak from experience. Granted, being a frat guy is kinda gay, but so is sitting in your dorm on the weekends and getting no pussy.

How much will you have to pay per semester for these friends you are buying?

Very well put.

I think the plan for now is to go to pre-rush and rush and do a whole lot of boozing, then see how things go from there.

Zing! Man, I forgot about that, I have no idea how much the fees or dues or whatever are, that will definitely come into consideration.

well, i think frats are freaking lame as hell. but since you go to USC, you pretty much gotta join a frat.

I almost joined a frat, but then I realized all I would be doing is paying for the friendship of some people that I didn't even really want to be friends with.

I went to a few of the events, and was not a fan. I could have easily gotten in, but I just walked away.

Good thing too... Now I realize it would have been a big mistake for me.

The social scene at the college I went to was also dominated by fraternities, so being the thing to do, I joined one and have never regretted it.

My closest life long friends of over 30 years are from that fraternity. However, it is important to join the right one. Take the rush seriously and pick one where you have a lot in common.

Also, once in, be careful about the distractions. There's always someone around that wants to fcuk off. It's very tempting sometimes to blow off studying when others around you are having a good time.
